As of December 21, 2024, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $98,600, reflecting a 3.4% increase from its previous close. This rise is part of a broader trend marked by substantial price fluctuations in the past seven days, which saw Bitcoin breaking below close support levels. Particularly, Bitcoin’s price movement in the past few days has been filled with declines below the $100,000 price level and liquidations across the entire crypto industry. Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Surge Above $225,000 By June 2025 Among the many voices weighing in on Bitcoin’s future trajectory is Adrian Zduńczyk, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst better known as CRYPTO₿IRB. While sharing his insights on X, the analyst noted that Bitcoin’s current bull run is already 80% complete, with the remaining 20% expected to be the most exhilarating phase. According to Zduńczyk, this phase will push the Bitcoin price to unprecedented heights in the first half of 2025.

At that time, Bitcoin was trading around $26,000, but the ensuing rally saw it breaking above multiple price resistance levels in quick succession. This, in turn, led to a break above its then all-time high to cross above $70,000 in March 2024, and then the latest break above the $100,000 psychological threshold in December 2024. As CRYPTO₿IRB predicted, the current bull run has played out to about 80% of its trajectory, with only 20% left to play out. Calculations show that Bitcoin has already increased by about 315% since the bull run started about a year ago. However, the analyst’s projection suggests that the leading cryptocurrency is about to make another 110% increase from its current all-time high in the next six months. Particularly, Zduńczyk has projected that Bitcoin will peak at an astonishing price of over $225,000 by June 2025. Altseason To Follow Bitcoin’s Peak, Bear Market Lurks Beyond 2025 Zduńczyk anticipates that a major altseason, which is characterized by explosive gains across the altcoin market, will occur after Bitcoin reaches its projected peak. However, he cautioned investors to remain vigilant, warning that 2026 will likely usher in a bear market and potentially bring in losses between 80% and 90% from the highs of various cryptocurrencies.

Although CRYPTO₿IRB’s prediction is bullish, it pales in comparison to projections from other crypto analysts, with some putting Bitcoin’s peak above $1 million in the current market cycle.
